We most certainly do not worship the same God. To say the Christians, Muslims, and Jews all worship the same God shows that you are ignorant of what the Quran teaches. Watch the video and then come back and comment on it. The speaker most clearly shows from the Quran and the bible who Allah is. I often find that many Muslims are unable or unwilling to see what the Quran really says. They are only able to parrot what they’ve been taught. I hope that’s not the case with you. Again, you’re more than welcome to comment on the video and explain how the speaker is wrong if you are able to do so. I look forward to hearing you point out the speakers errors.

Thanks for posting this: my understanding of Islam was based upon what it inspires [discord, even among Muslims, and hatred and killing]. But now, I know to reference and examine 5:72-73 in the Quran [Koran].

A few days back i got a revelation (for me, anyway) about the matter of talking about Islam and other religions. I realized that in the past i had not been wise enough to clearly separate between critically examining a religion, beliefs and practices, from a judgment on a people, which could be construed as prejudice or even racism.

To me, the essential issue concerning debating Islam or any religion is that it should first be agreed that it is ESSENTIAL that no religion, belief or practice is immune from critical examination, AND, that critical examination does not equal discrimination against the people who belong to any such group.

Islam, from what i’ve seen, is not open to critical examination, and it’s not alone, of course. Meaning, it is impossible for them to accept criticism, for they take it as a personal attack. And the threat of violence is often used to discourage people from critically examining what they believe and do.

This phenomenom of “politically correct speech” is beginning to dominate the world. You won’t hear any intelligent critical examination of the beliefs and practices of Islamists anywhere in the mass-media or in world politics.

Christians should never get to that place. Our lives and our beliefs should be out in the open and we must always be willing to give an intelligent explanation for everything. Most of christendom, however, is not in such a place, for often any such discussion is derailed from the start and then remains outside the boundary of an intelligent discussion.
